Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Horsemere Green: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Horsemere Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
The process
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Late September evenings in Horsemere Green lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
